Pathfinder Society Organized Play - First Steps Intro Scenarios
Welcome to the OOC thread for the First Steps series I'm running for Pathfinder Society Organized Play. Everyone please check in with a post to introduce yourselves if you like, or give the virtual thumbs up that you've got this.
Some of you have played by post before, some of you haven't. For simplicity's sake, here is how I'm going to manage this game:
1. I would like people to roleplay situations, but if you're in a crunch for time and can only throw out some dice, that's ok.
2. To speed the game along, I'll make many reactive dice rolls: Perception checks, Initiative rolls, Saving Throws, certain skills (such as Spellcraft for identifying spells) and certain combat checks (Like attacks of opportunity). You can always request to roll these in active situations, such as searching a room, or in the case I forget to do so. If one of my rolls is calculated incorrectly, let me know and I'll adjust.
3. You don't need to wait your turn to post for combat, but put contingency actions in if you think the situation will change by the time your turn is up. Example: You want to Rapid Shot an enemy, but there is a chance that by your turn no targets will be available. You can put if/or options in your intended action. So, you'd post something like: I'll use rapid shot on an available target, but if I need to move more than 5 feet to find a target I'll just take one shot. You can include all rolls or leave if/or rolls to me.
Curraine Bahmler here. I'm an Elven Cleric and a member of the Silver Crusade faction. And sure, I come off as a slacker hippie surfer that hangs out on the shore's of the Inner Sea but you better not disrespect the tallent, Bro. I've got no problem driving a team of horses over your dome if think you can trash Gozreh, the cause, the rules, or the break. It won't be ignored. It won't be forgotten. It won't be tolerated. It will be handled. Don't be a gremmy.

And another elf, Falyf Nightwing, Magus and swordmaster par excellence (more later then earlier). Enjoying his time at the Pathfinder lodge, not any allainces yet, looking forward to his contracts and seeing, who he really likes.
Looking forward to this, so let's get rolling =)

Ok, we're just waiting for one more player to check in here. I'm hoping to start the scenario tomorrow evening.
Also note, the First Steps series assumes that the characters have not yet officially joined a faction. One of the purposes of these scenarios is to introduce the newer factions (shadow lodge, silver crusade, sczarni syndicate, lantern lodge, and grand lodge), and give new characters the chance to join in-game). You might have a faction already in mind, but you are not officially a member yet and there are no faction missions to complete in these scenarios.
Sorry about the wait. Half the group has either never played by post before, or hasn't played Pathfinder Society Organized play. I'm coaching them through the process now.
My plan is to post the introduction to the first Scenario later tonight.

No problem. And before I forget, I tweaked my PC in the last few days, including my name. Just click my profile for the final version.

Yes, we have six. Had one more person ask to join last minute.

Kobash were you going to convert your game using the new PbP campaign tools?

Ouch, 7 CHA?
Perhaps Falyf should stay away from talking to people.

I agree with Taurus on this one.

Sorry everyone had some computers problems will rejoin the game
Kalin, I'm going to say you're just arriving on the scene where Adamus is talking to Auntie Baltwin. We'll say you stopped for a snack from a roadside fish vendor in the Docks and promptly spent the next hour in a privy for your mistake.
Just a head's up everyone. I'll be unable to post from this Tuesday until next Monday. I hope you're all enjoying the scenario. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know.

No worries. It's been fun so far.
I'm thinking about trying to get a flurry of posts in tonight. Maybe even wrap up the first scenario. With my schedule I could probably swing 10 to 11:30 pacific. Who's available to do that?

Gonna be tough for me, I'll try, but please take the dagger in-char. if needed.

Seriously ill-timed cliffhanger!
Well in any event, have a good time on your vacation/work trip/wedding/whatever.

Heh, a little late. He's already gone until next week.

Just noticed, sometimes it sucks being 7 hours in front. You get up, start posting, I usually shut down my computer at that time.

Cannot do really anything, as everyone is in the way...., maybe Adamus can take a sttep backwards next round?

Well in the meantime you should delay so that Kobash doesn't wait up for you.
Things you could try include:
.
.
- Scaling the building so you can get over the bottleneck
- Using your sling on their back-rank
- Dragging Taurus' dead weight into cover so Curraine's healing doesn't go to waste
- Dancing a jig

Any chance we could step up the posting?
At this rate Taurus is going to be unconscious for the next week. =(

Great narration GM, good map, looks like a limbo line.
We'll be wrapping up this scenario over the next couple days. Who's up for part 2?

Sent, but not sure about faction yet...
Sorry about the delay. I've been very busy for the last week. I'll get this moving again in a day or two.

Great, looking forward to it.

I'm trying to complete the Chronicle sheets for the first scenario. I'm going to initial where it asks, and put in as much as I can figure out, but if it's missing anything, just put it in yourselves.
By the way, I still need society information from Curraine and Haris.

They can be a bit confusing.
If you need any help filling them out feel free to grab me on gmail. I've filled out quite a few in my time playing PFS.

Got mine too. Thanks!
When can we expect to start part II? I'm excited!
